I'll Never Get Out of This World Alive
- I'll Never Get Out of This World Alive
"I'll Never Get Out of This World Alive" is a song written by Fred Rose and American country music singer-songwriter Hank Williams, released by Williams in 1952. The last single to be released during Williams' lifetime, it reached #1 on the "Billboard" Country Singles chart posthumously in January 1953. Co-writer Fred Rose died a year after the song's release. Meant to be a humorous song, as evidenced by its ironic title and chorus, the song took on additional poignancy following Williams' mysterious death. In fact, an urban legend grew that the song was #1 at the time of his demise.
The song has been covered by artists such as Jimmy Dale Gilmore, Asleep at the Wheel, Jerry Lee Lewis, Hank Williams Jr., Hank Williams III , and The Little Willies.
